Sinopsis

ItâÇÖs 1954. The place is Prosperity, North Carolina, a small farming community in Bliss County. Three teenagers, the 1953 championship-winning offensive backfield for Prosperity High, and lifelong friends, are unwilling participants in a horrific event that results in a young manâÇÖs death.ááááOne of the friends harbors a tragic secret that could have prevented the crime. Divulging it would ruin his life, so he stays quiet, fully aware he will carry a stain of guilt for the rest of his life.áááThe three buddies go their separate ways for almost a decade, before another tragedy brings them back to Prosperity in 1968. Now in their thirties, it is a time of civil and racial unrest in America.áááThey discover the man who committed murder back in âÇÖ54 is now the mayor, and rules the town with an autocratic iron fist. HeâÇÖs backed by his own private force of sheriffâÇÖs deputies and forcibly intimidates and silences any malcontents.áááWorse, now heâÇÖs set his sights on Congress.áááA Kind and Savage Place spans half a century from 1942 to 1989 and examines the dramatic racial and societal turmoil of that period through the microcosmic lens of a flyspeck North Carolina agricultural community.
